In a statement released with the schedule, Committee Chairman Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, thanked Cohen for voluntarily agreeing to testify.

“I want to make clear that we have no interest in inappropriately interfering with any ongoing criminal investigations, and to that end, we are in the process of consulting with special counsel (Robert) Mueller’s office,” Cummings said. “The committee will announce additional information in the coming weeks.”

He also pleaded guilty in August to eight charges, including multiple counts of tax evasion and arranging illicit payments to silence women who posed a risk to Trump's presidential campaign.

Cohen told a judge in August that Trump directed him to arrange payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal, two women who claim they had affairs with Trump years before the 2016 presidential election.
